Soup for dolls

Today we cooked a soup for dolls. We were talking again about Harvest, crops, vegetables, which are growing in our garden, but at this time we were thinking that our doll who was helping her parents in the garden is hungry. Let's make a soup for Kathy!
First we were talking about vegetables - whose are ok for soup and why we can't put lemon or strawberry in soup? How we need to prepare veggies for soup - wash them cut in pieces and what we need for it - knives, boards...



Put vegetables in a pot and we need - ??? That was tricky)) children went to our drama centre to explore it and found that we need a stove!!!! and while our soup was cooking we went to dance, 





Oh.... We forgot something!

Our chief does not have a smack!!! let's help him to make it.
Children practising draw the lines from top to the bottom, but older tried to create pattern with colourful lines. Look how they look like now!

Summer gone and Fall conducts the weather and changes in Nature. Look how many spider around now!
This it the time to talk about very busy Spider, story by Eric Carl. For this class I used sound of farm animals and children could guess who actually is coming now to talk to Spider. They could choose and animal toy and guess where or for what animals invited Busy Spider :
Pig - roll over in the paddle, Cow - eat some grass, Dog - chase Cat....



Ok, ok... we remember - Spider was quiet, but she was very busy - Let's look how  spider web looks like!



How many legs Spider has? What colour they are? Let's make your own spider! It is Itsy Bitsy Spider! Let's sing the song!
